α-Methylcinnamic acid

Description:

α-Methylcinnamic acid is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both a carboxylic acid and an alkene functional group. It is a derivative of cinnamic acid, featuring a methyl group at the alpha position relative to the carboxylic acid. This compound typically appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is known for its pleasant, sweet odor, which makes it of interest in the fragrance industry. α-Methylcinnamic acid is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It exhibits moderate melting and boiling points, reflecting its relatively low volatility. The compound can undergo various chemical reactions, including esterification and hydrogenation, making it useful in organic synthesis. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. As with many organic acids, it is important to handle α-methylcinnamic acid with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
